800 grit??? i wish....i go all they way to 2000 grit
All of the materials can be brought from moleroda.com I totally agree the drill is a bit of an old one. we do also sell drills but we mainly specialise in metal polishing tools.

We have a product called chrome polish or simichrome that does the same thing.
We also offer spray cans like the Antox 800S for stainless steel which gives far better corrosion protection.

one more question, i'm going to make a real fine polish, should I use a very fine sandpaper first?

You normally need to go down to 400 grit before polishing. Some people prefer to take it down to 800 grit so that there is no possibility of lines showing.
